Below, I provide the slides for a number of lectures that I have recently or semi-recently given. The lectures are separated into two categories: “statistics & machine learning” and “naive discrimination learning”.

applications
A short summary of the work presented in my doctoral disseration “Experimental explorations of a discrimination learning approach to language processing”. This includes simulations of (behavioral patterns in) word naming data, eye fixation patterns and event-related potentials using naive discrimination learning networks.
